 Playing piano has also been shown to be a great source of stress relief, and
provides ample opportunities to bolster self-esteem
 Learning to play the guitar is great for confidence building and developing
social skills
 Playing drums can relieve frustration, disappointment, and stress
 Learning to play the violin is at the top of my bucket lists
 Playing the violin improves your physical strength, hand-eye coordination, and
dexterity and makes the violinists ultimate multi-taskers.
 It is true that a rich variety of musical styles can be found around the world. 
 Music is a vital part of all human cultures for a range of reasons, and I would
argue that traditional music is more important than modern, international music.
 Music is something that accompanies all of us throughout our lives.
 As children, we are taught songs by our parents and teachers as a means of
learning language, or simply as a form of enjoyment. 
 Children delight in singing with others, and it would appear that the act of
singing in a group creates a connection between participants, regardless of their age. 
 Music both expresses and arouses emotions in a way that words alone cannot.
 In my opinion, traditional music should be valued over the international music
that has become so popular. 
 International pop music is often catchy and fun, but it is essentially a
commercial product that is marketed and sold by business people. 
 Traditional music, by contrast, expresses the culture, customs and history of a
country. 
 Traditional styles connect us to the past and form part of our cultural identity. 
 It would be a real pity if pop music became so predominant that these national
styles disappeared.
 For me, I am interested in the traditional instrumental music, like pianos and
guitars. It is an impressive combination that can give you a both nostalgic and
modern feelings. Normally on rainy days, opening acoustics songs and sing along to
my favorite Vũ hits, have a cuppa and let my hair down, music will do the rest.
 Due to my total lack of rhythm and the fact that I am tone deaf, I would not
even consider embarassing myself with any attempt to play a musical instrument. 
 Everything depends on the type of music I’m listening to. For example when
you’re happy and listen to some happy music. It will boost your happiness. On the
other hand if you’re sad, sad music might get you even more sad. But most of the
time, listening to some music helps me pick up my energy and chill a bit.
 My music taste varies widely from West to East and from the 90s to modern
EDM. But if Korean pop is considered as a kind of music, then yeah, that’s my
favorite of all time. More than half of my playlists are Korean songs and I always
keep myself updated with the news related to Korean showbiz.
 I guess most people at the same age as me grew up with Disney Channel and
among its successful series, Hannah Montanah starring Miley Cyrus would always be
on top of my list. 
 I like music, and I couldn’t live without it. It’s what allows us to escape from
reality. Furthermore, it connects people. I think no matter what country, religion, or
culture we come from, we all enjoy music.
